CEP Short-Term Appointments (CSA)
CEP Short-Term Appointments (CSA) address the needs of multiple JSC organizations to engage students through temporary CEP appointments. Students work 15-weeks during the spring and fall semesters or 10-weeks during the summer. Students are paired with a JSC Mentor, work on-site, and complete technical assignments.

- Maintain a 3.0 grade point average.
- Provide current report card or transcripts.
